Newbie is lost (Best way to start???)

  • Hey everyone,

    I just purchased the GeneratePress theme.

    I used OptimizePress and expected an editor, but I can’t find any editing features…

    How do I create pages? What are the best practices? Maybe a “Start Here Article” for newbies would be nice…

    Thanks,
    Timo

  • Hi Timo,

    GP is a theme, it does not have built-in tools to create content for pages/posts, it only handles the global styles, like header, footer, navigation, etc.

    If you want to create pages, you need to use block plugins like GenerateBlocks, or use WP’s built-in blocks.

    For example, if you are in the page editor, click the blue + icon, you will see all the blocks that available on your site, then you can start to build contents:

  • Hey Ying,

    Ok. Thanks.

    Does it make sense to purchase Generate Blocks too? Will it make things easier for me and are the blocks in better quality than the usual WP blocks?

    Thanks,
    Timo

  • Does it make sense to purchase Generate Blocks too?

    You can use GB free first, if you think it’s easy to use and you are happy with it, then might worth invest in GB Pro, as some Pro features can save you a lot of time when building pages.

    However, we have 30 days money back guarantee, if you want to start with both GB and GB Pro, you can, there is no risk of trying that 🙂

    Will it make things easier for me and are the blocks in better quality than the usual WP blocks?

    Yes, from my own experience, it’s the best block plugin I’ve used.
    Here’s the doc of GB, you can search the block name and read the related docs:https://docs.generateblocks.com/

    Let me know if you have any other questions!

  • Hey!

    I bought both GeneratePress and GenerateBocks and I’m very happy with it.

    Thanks!

  • Very pleased to hear that 🙂

    By the way, you can also add GB’s badge along with GP’s to your profile, so that we can offer you solutions with GB Pro features whenever you need help with GB.

    The option is in the right sidebar.
